The emergence of the Main Street area of Waldport represents a unique opportunity for a high-energy, dance-themed venue. The development's central location, demographics, and lack ofdirect competition are major advantages to this project. The proposed venue will provide alocal solution to the lack of social atmosphere and live sports venues geared primarily toward the21-35 age group in the Waldport area and will help keep late night entertainment expenditureswithin the localized region.

The new venue will specialize in high-energy themes, a quality video and gaming area, and willoffer beer, wine and an array of liquors and mixed drinks. In addition, the venue will sell non-alcoholic beverages such as soft drinks, juices and bottled water. A "casual" food menuconsisting mostly of appetizers and small entrees ranging in cost from six to nine dollars willalso be available. The initial hours of operation will be 11:00 P.M. to 2:00 A.M., four nights aweek. The establishment will draw primarily from the Waldport market while attracting guestsfrom the area's other surrounding cities and towns.

4.0 Market Analysis Summary

The concept and management of the Nightclub has been well received, and has been offered keyplacement at the center of Waldport's new First & Main Town Center development. Thiscommercial center spans 138 acres and promises an immediate primary trade population of332,000 people with a secondary population of 164,000 people. The Boulevard at the Avenueaverage daily traffic counts are currently 53,000, and will increase to 72,000 by 2003 followingthe Boulevard's connection northward to I-25 in 2001. At the center of the complex will be a16-screen Cinemark and IMAX theater opening March, 2000. The Center's planners having metthe Nightclub's management and have reviewed the concept. They have indicated that theNightclub is "exactly" what they were looking for and wish to place it directly in front of thetheater. The annual projected traffic for what Cinemark is calling their 'flagship' location is 1.4million people, which exceeds their current Tinseltown location at the arena.

The Nightclub will be a 10,000 square foot unit, which will also house the company's corporatebusiness office. The dance club and bar will accommodate 750 people. With Waldport's rapidlygrowing population, the variety of the Nightclub from across the country would create massappeal for all of the Nightclub's customers. The store will be equipped with state-of-the-artaudio and video systems like none other found in Your City. It will serve the need for a truenightclub in Waldport. The general appearance will be clean, open, and pleasing to the customer.The demographics are favorable, with minimal competition from other dance-themed venuesand bars.

4.1 Market Segmentation

We see The Nightclub as appealing to three major market segments. Fortunately, the long, latenight hours of operation help The Nightclub lend itself to multiple segment appeal. Our marketsegmentation scheme allows some room for estimates and nonspecific definitions.

1. Childless Young Professionals--Due to our proximity to the IMAX and Cinemarktheaters, we must appeal to single adults and young couples. Whether it is a group offriends or a couple out to see a movie together, these people need a place to eat/drinkeither before and/or after their movie. These customers will range in age from 27 to 40.The Nightclub will appeal to this category by switching the tempo and entertainment tobe more appealing to adults as it gets later into the evening. We also anticipate a 15%

Page 11: business plan of a nightclub

The Nightclub

Page 7

annual growth rate in tandem with the growth rate of Waldport and through increasedpopularity.

2. College Students--By creating an environment that is appealing to college students, wesecure a natural progression between the high school student and the youngprofessional. Through word of mouth, the Nightclub expects realize an increase of fivepercent annually from this segment.

3. Tourists and Business Travelers--More and more business and travelers and touristsare finding themselves in Waldport every year as is made evident by the increaseddemand and subsequent expansion of the local airport. We plan to reach these peoplethrough direct marketing to local hotel patrons. We anticipate a 20% annual growth ratein this segment. As our relationships grow with the local hotels, so too will the word ofmouth recommendations from the hotel staff as well as the patronizing of ourrestaurant by their families. Our future plan is to publish a simple website in order tocreate awareness to any traveler who wants to take an advanced look at the club beforetheir visit.

4.2 Target Market Segment Strategy

Our strategy is based on serving our niche markets exceptionally well. The nightclubenthusiast, the tourist and business traveler, the local nightclub crowd, the local serviceindustry as well as groups going out together, can all enjoy The Nightclub experience.

The marketing strategy is essential to the main strategy:

· Emphasize exceptional service.· Create awareness of The Nightclub's unique features.· Focus on our target markets.

We must charge appropriately for the high-end, high-quality service and food that we offer.Our revenue structure has to match our cost structure, so the wages we pay and the trainingwe provide to assure superior quality and service must be balanced by the fees we charge.

Part of the superior experience we offer is the simplicity o the menu items. While being unique,they are relatively inexpensive and easy to prepare. While a premium is appropriate for theexperience, the pricing has to be balanced in accordance with what we are serving.

All menu items will be moderately priced. We expect an average guest expenditure of $12.50for beverages and $7.50 for the percentage of our guests who choose to take advantage ofour food menu. Our target customer spends more than the industry average for moderatelypriced establishments. This is due to our creating an atmosphere that encourages longer staysand more spending, while still allowing adequate table turns due to extended hours of appeal.

4.3 Service Business Analysis

High energy and dance themed venues have significantly impacted cities from coast to coast inthe nineties. Los Angeles' Hollywood, New York's Times Square, and Seattle's Pioneer Squareare just a few examples. Entrancing their audiences with high-powered lights, sound, music,and interactive entertainment, these venues are still one of the highest cash flow businesses inthe world. Our localized studies have shown that the average person will spend three to fourhours per weekend in this type of an environment and will spend an average of twenty to fiftydollars in that time frame. As we approach the new millennium, this trend shows no signs ofdeclining.

The typical venue of our style is open from 8:00 P.M. to 2:00 A.M., and within this time frame,the venue can achieve gross revenues anywhere from $3,500 to $25,000, nightly. The primarysources of revenue in a venue of this type are high volume traffic, coupled with comparablynominal spending. In addition to alcohol revenues, we will also generate substantial revenuesfrom food sales that can typically range from seven to ten dollars per person, and admission feesthat range between five and ten dollars per admit.

Entertainment venues in the late 1980's and 1990's focused on high-energy light and sound,multiple source video screens, and participative events. This relatively simple concept is stillquite popular today. However, these concepts have greatly evolved with society. In recentyears this industry has become more sophisticated with the availability of new technology.Larger metropolitan areas have taken this technology to new heights with sound, lighting,video and interactive designs that create an exciting and memorable experience. Fortunately, no

Page 13: business plan of a nightclub

The Nightclub

Page 9

one in Your State area has been a pioneer in this specific segment of the industry as of the dateof this report.

Additionally, the nightclub and bar industry is shifting towards a more entertainment-orientedconcept. Guests of these venues are not only offered a dynamic place to gather and mingle, butalso a place to participate in the entertainment through interactive contests, theme nights,and other events. We intend to heavily utilize entertainment-oriented marketing in an effort towithstand the perpetual shift in trends and cater to as large a client base as possible.

Nightclubs and other drinking establishments rely heavily on their primary suppliers. The primarysuppliers are the various beverage distributors that provide the establishment with both alcoholicand non-alcoholic beverages. The alcoholic beverages (beer, wine, and liquor) are the primarysources of income in this industry. Other beverage suppliers also play a crucial role byproviding non-alcoholic beverages. These are either served alone or mixed with alcohol.

In the area, all major brands of alcoholic beverages are available, in addition to several regionalbrands of beer. Initial research shows that the major distributors in the market have a high ratingin both product availability and delivery.

4.3.1 Main Competitors

The Nightclub competition lies mainly with other casual facilities and less with conventional andchain entertainment establishments. We need to effectively compete with the widely held ideathat you can't get good service anymore, while maintaining the idea that being out can be alot of fun. Our polling has indicated that consumers think of atmosphere, price, and qualityrespectively. Additionally, price was frequently mentioned by pointing out that if the formerconcerns are present then they are willing to pay more for the experience.

Our review of the market concludes that there are four entertainment venues that can beconsidered direct competition to the proposed new venue. We do realize that the proposedvenue will also compete indirectly for every entertainment dollar spent in the Waldport area.

The main competitors of the Nightclub will be:

Club A

Hours of Operation: 5:00 P.M.-2:00 A.M.Wednesday through SaturdayCapacity: 300 Wednesday College Night ($1 beers)-This nightclub appeals to a college crowd seeking cheap drinks.-The club is known for being dingy and dirty.

Bar B

Hours of Operation: 10:00 A.M.- 2:00 A.M.Monday through SundayCapacity: 400Thursday College/Ladies Nights-This club appeals to 25-35 year olds.-Pool and video games are central focus.-Dancing is pushed to the back of the club.

The Nightclub

Page 10

Grill C

Hours of Operation: 6:00 P.M.-2:00 A.M.Wednesday through SaturdayCapacity: 250-This club's target customer is 25 to 45 years old / middle class or above.-This club is known for its older, dressed up crowd and cramped space.

Club D

Hours of Operation: 11:00 A.M.-2:00 A.M.Monday through SundayCapacity: 350 -This club's target customer is 25 to 45 years old.-This club is known for live jazz and blues entertainment and their draught beers.

4.3.2 Business Participants

The Nightclub will be part of the restaurant and bar industry, which includes several kinds ofbusinesses:

· Locally Operated Bars and Nightclubs - This genre usually appeals to the localneighborhood clientele. This same client base dictates that the average price structurebe drastically scaled down in order to create "regulars."

· Nightclub Entertainment Complexes - This type of complex represents the conceptwe will most closely compete with. They are typically placed in high traffic locationsand are normally treated as destination entertainment. An admission charge is usually inplace and the associated price structure is also most like our proposed structure.Thankfully there is not an abundance if this type of entertainment within our region.

· Conventional Dining - Primarily owned by large national chains, usually less than 10,000square feet, focused on serving good quality food in a reasonable amount of time in adining room setting. The service and food quality are superior to that of a fast foodestablishment. People go there to eat and leave when they're done eating since there'srarely a reason to stay.

· Formal Dining - Similar to conventional dining yet offering a higher quality of food andservice for the added expense. As with the conventional dining facilities, there is littleinteraction and when people are done eating, they leave.

· Casual Dining - Commonly building upon conventional dining with the addition of a bar,playing of music and sporting events on numerous televisions. Some establishmentsoffer their own brand of beer made on the premises. The food quality and service are atbest, similar to that found in a conventional dining experience.

· Chain Entertainment - Typically manifested in each market through the Hard RockCafes, the Planet Hollywoods, etc. We expect to create an atmosphere that thrives onits trendy feel. These chain entertainment venues can not hope to draw the same "hip"clientele.

The Nightclub

Page 11

5.0 Strategy and Implementation Summary

In order to place emphasis on exceptional service, our main tactics are bi-monthly servicetraining, employee recognition, and higher service employee to customer ratios. Our specificprograms for training include employee for life training for management, customer for lifetraining for employees, and the sharing of success stories among employees and management.Our specific employee recognition programs include employee of the month with a personalparking space, service excellence recognition awards of specific employees attached toadvertising. To achieve higher service employee to customer ratios, we include separatebeverage servers and bussing personnel, as well as maintaining a comfortable table count for thewait staff.

Our second strategy is emphasizing entertainment. The tactics are interactive entertainment,constant sensory appeal, and unique event viewing. Our specific programs for interactiveentertainment and constant sensory appeal are frequent contests, games, music, and karaoke allhosted by an in-house dj who is also in charge of event programming for the main room andlounge. A billiard room will overlook the main area. Billiards was selected due to its widespreadpopularity (fifth most popular sport in the world, according to CNN). A limited number of videoand pinball games, as well as computer dart boards, will compliment the billiard tables in orderto offer a less interactive entertainment option. With an adjoining bar and plenty of seating,yet another unique experience could be carved out of a visit to The Nightclub.

Our promise fulfillment strategy may be our most important. The necessary tactics are ongoingvalue-based training, maintenance, and attention to detail, especially after popularity has beenestablished. Through empowerment of service employees to solve problems without making acustomer wait for management consultation we create a win-win situation for the customerand the restaurant. Continuous and never-ending improvement is the order of the day throughour regular training sessions and meetings. Since value is equal to service rendered minus theprice charged, it is crucial to go beyond the mere serving of food in a room full of lights andsound, you have to create a long-lasting impression.

· Emphasize exceptional service -- We MUST prove to guests that exceptional service isstill available and should be expected as part of a dining experience. We need todifferentiate ourselves from the mediocre service venues.

· Emphasize an entertaining experience -- By assuring that all guests will enjoy themselves,we would be securing market share through repeat business.

· Focus on target markets -- Our marketing and themes of mass appeal and music basedentertainment will attract our target market segments.

· Differentiate and fulfill the above promises.

We can't just market and sell another dance club, we must actually deliver on our promise ofquality, service and a unique guest experience. We need to make sure we have the fun andservice intensive staff that we claim to have.

5.1 Marketing Strategy

A high growth area, such as Waldport, has an annual influx of new residents from many otherparts of the country. This trend is true of Your State in general.

Many new residents, as well as many existing ones, are members of clubs in other markets.

Page 16: business plan of a nightclub

The Nightclub

Page 12

The Nightclub is a place for all. The enabling technology will be an inherent part of TheNightclub's image.

Advertising budgets and event promotion are ongoing processes of management geared topromote the brand name and keep the Nightclub at the forefront of the dance themeestablishments in Waldport's marketing area.

We depend on radio advertising as our main way to reach new customers. Our strategies andpractices will remain constant, as will the way we promote ourselves:

· Advertising -- We'll be developing a core positioning message.· Grand Opening -- We will concentrate a substantial portion of our early advertising

budget towards the 'Grand Opening Event.'· Direct Marketing -- We'll directly market to local hotels surrounding the powers and the

local airport.

The Nightclub will create an identity-oriented marketing strategy with executions particularly inradio media, alongside print ads, and in-store promotions.

A grand opening event will be held to launch The Nightclub in the summer of 2001. A radioadvertising blitz will precede the event for three weeks, with ambiguous teasers about an "eventlike no other" in the city's history and the forthcoming opening date. Contests will be held on thetarget radio stations giving away V.I.P. passes (coupons) to the event while at the same time,creating excitement about the opening. We will leverage our relationship with the DallasCowboy Cheerleaders to be present on the night of the grand opening. The opening date istentative at this point and dependent upon construction completion. The budget for the eventwill be $10,000, and the milestone date will parallel the available opening date, currently Juneof 2001.

Achievement of the following campaigns will be measured by the polling of customers as to howthey heard of The Nightclub for the first ninety days of operation. Budget adjustments will bemade as the results dictate.

We will be running regular local radio and newspaper ads to create brand awareness. Our radioads will be concentrated strongly on Magic FM, the city's top radio station among our targetmarket segments. Through commercial repetition, a teaser campaign, and the use of catchyphrases, we hope to obtain intellectual ownership of our target market segments: when theythink dance club and bar they'll have to think the Nightclub. Drink specials will also be staplesof our radio advertising in order to bring people in. HK will be responsible for ongoing radio adswith a monthly budget of $12,000 per month for the first ninety days, followed by an ongoingbudget of $6500 per month.

We will advertise directly to local hotel guests in the local airport and surrounding theBoulevard areas to attract business travelers and tourists with no knowledge of where to go inthe evening. Through the use of fliers and table tents to place in hotel rooms, we hope to createvisitor awareness of our location and event promotion. Promos such as 'show your room keyand get a free drink' in conjunction with the room ads would be relatively inexpensive from anadvertising standpoint and requires limited ongoing maintenance and expense. BK will beresponsible for direct advertising with a start-up budget of $3,000 and a maintenance budgetof $1,000 per month. The milestone date will be thirty days after the grand opening event.

Ads will also go into the college newspapers for the local campuses of Your State College andthe University of Your State. HK will be responsible for this program. The monthly budget for

Page 17: business plan of a nightclub

The Nightclub

Page 13

these ads will be $300. The event date will be in tandem with the grand opening.

Shirts, ball caps, and bumper stickers bearing the Nightclub's logo will be marketed, as well asgiven away as prizes, in order to further spread brand awareness. Artistic design will be HK'sresponsibility and merchandising will be headed by DD. A start-up budget of $1800 will be inplace and a monthly promotional (giveaway) budget will also exist.

6.0 Management Summary

The management team is an especially close one. One of the presidents has been married to

The Nightclub

Page 16

the vice president for seven years. The two co-presidents have worked directly together forthree and a half years at four positions. One of the presidents has worked with the barmanager in the past and has known him for nearly ten years. Together we share a singlevision: to provide a unique and entertaining experience through exceptional service.

The company will have six managers, including the two presidents, and three managers whohave yet to be recruited.

6.1 Management Team

DD, Co-President. D has a bachelors degree in business management, five years management inthe restaurant/bar business, consultative experience opening other bars, six subsequent yearsmanagement in the car industry ending currently with his current position as departmentmanager. D's specific responsibilities will lie primarily with the coordination of events andoversight of the operations and evening activities of the restaurant and bar.

BK, Co-President. B is pursuing a life-long ambition of restaurant/nightclub ownership. Threeyears of restaurant kitchen experience and nearly eight years of experience managing peopleending with three and a half years of finance management. B is committed to not only creating asuccessful business but also successfully running it. Even though his hands-on experience inbusiness management is extensive through the finance business, he has spent the last yearand a half researching business and business ownership in his spare time. B's specificresponsibilities will be administrative management to include inventory management, accountspayable, purchasing, payroll, and public relations with limited marketing involvement (mostlydirect) to other companies.

HK, Vice President. H has a bachelor's degree in industrial media management. Her experienceranges from radio marketing sales to three years as a financial analyst for L3 Communications.

M is eagerly awaiting the opportunity to work at a restaurant/bar where things aredone correctly and the customer is put first. In addition to managing the bar, its personnel,and the djs, M will also be third in command under the two co-presidents.

The positions of office, kitchen and dining room managers have yet to be filled at this time.These positions will be openly sought along with the remainder of the staff.

6.2 Management Team Gaps

We believe we have a solid team constructed in order to cover the main points of the businessplan. Management growth through training will be an ongoing component of The Nightclub'spriorities.

However, we do realize that we may not have the hands on specific knowledge that may berequired to execute pre-opening and opening phases of the venture. We also realize that wemay benefit greatly from the retention of a hospitality industry consultant to guide us throughthe aforementioned time frames, as well as to consult with us through the first two years of

Page 21: business plan of a nightclub

The Nightclub

Page 17

our operation.

To this end we have contracted with a hospitality industry specialist consultant. His involvementwill exist in several facets, most notably, through providing assistance in launching thisvenue. This consultant has over 12 years of experience in the hospitality industry and hasassisted many first-time operators in getting their proposed venueslaunched successfully. They will assist in the development of the design, concept, and strategiesof the new business. In addition, they will assist in the hiring process of the managementstaff, DJs, bartenders, waitresses, and security staff. They will also provide educational servicesfor management-level personnel who will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of theclub.

Interviews for a general manager, operations manager, and all other personnel will beconducted with the assistance of the consultant. The co-presidents, Mr. D and Mr. K, will makefinal decisions for each position.

These gaps will be filled as the opening date draws closer.

6.3 Personnel Plan

The Personnel Plan reflects the objective of providing an ample amount of service personnel. Ourheadcount will remain at thirty unless any unforeseen demands dictate otherwise. Assume aburden rate of 17%.

7.0 Financial Plan

The financial projections for this plan are presented in the tables and charts of the followingsubtopics.

7.1 Important Assumptions

The financial plan depends on important assumptions, most of which are illustrated in thefollowing table.

The key underlying assumptions are:

· We assume a slow-growth economy of five percent the first year, and three percentthereafter, without major recession.

· We assume that we will grow as managers during the process, this growth will manifestitself as flat line expense growth over the five-year period, leading to increased annualcash flow.

· We assume access to equity capital and financing sufficient to maintain our financialplan as shown in the tables.

· We assume continued popularity of nightclubs in America and the growing demand forhigh-energy themed and casual dining venues.
